Well… Since you chose Pikachu, let’s go with the Detective version shall we.
Here’s the time line of events:
My original report
(4.2.5) PvP alerts triggering despite being off
On the thread you stated it “should be” which means you were unsure if it would be.
(4.2.5) PvP alerts triggering despite being off - #8 by Cyrup
As stated above I didn’t start “following” the new way of known issues until February. Prior to it they were always posted on the forums.
But cool. The issue was believed to be fixed at this point. Within a couple weeks later…
No mention of it on the patch notes. I guess PvP Notifications are more minor than free scouting.
So December it was reported. January it was believed to be fixed.
Which now puts us at February…
A literally new bug report that the issue was not fixed. And every month @Kafka would comment on the thread. Yet it never made its way back to the known issues.
In March I even tried a different route since the bug report direction was going no where.
Here’s a separate issue thread that had to do with numerous Notifications that eventually the PvP Notification was discussed with you and I.
So here we are today… The month of May. With 4.3.5 on the horizon with zero expectations of it being fixed. So the best hope would be it being fixed (or removed completely) in 4.4
4.4 will probably drop around September. Meaning it will have taken 9 months to fix an issue over a feature that no one in their right minds want. 9 months of spam…9 months of head banging…9 months of lack of accountability…9 months of it being the players responsibility to bump the issue to the devs… And at least 1,080 times my phone will notify me and when I look at the message it says “God bless them, but when it comes to Notifications, the devs give either Zero Franks about them or they are incompetent on this matter.” Because that’s how I read this now:
Shocker
As we speak…
It’s still not on the known issues thread. Which obviously isn’t just to keep the players informed. But also a way to keep the devs tracking on what issues need to be fixed.
To the OP.
My apologies for derailing your thread. But hopefully this will finally leave enough of an impact on the devs that they actually try to fix it. Better yet remove it. Or at the very least, gets it put back on the “honey do list”. Otherwise, I’m franking done with this 
.
Every single bug report is free labor. Free labor with the expectation that their issue will not be ignored. That their issue will be fixed in a timely manner. And that they won’t have to raise hell just so that they won’t be annoyed with a small fragment of a product that they invest money into for relaxation and enjoyment not for aggravation or frustration. And at the very least, not to do someone else’s job for them.
And Salty if you read this. Please don’t put on your IP2 battle armor to try and defend your compandres. If anything about my time line is incorrect please let me know. Otherwise, it speaks for itself. The rest is just my personal feedback after watching what the accountability used to be like. Compared to what it is now. And how much more is asked upon the player, but how little is given back to them (which is nothing now). I know you can’t officially expect the players to report bugs and be your beta testers… Or is it Charlie testers? But the veterans know… If they don’t bring the bugs to your attention… Then you’ll never know about them.
